Human mission to Mars. The idea of sending humans to Mars has been the subject of aerospace engineering and scientific studies since the late 1940s as part of the broader exploration of Mars. [1] Long-term proposals have included sending settlers and terraforming the planet. Currently, only robotic landers and rovers have been on Mars.

Mars 2020 is a NASA mission that includes the rover Perseverance, the now-retired small robotic helicopter Ingenuity, and associated delivery systems, as part of the Mars Exploration Program. Mars 2020 was launched on an Atlas V rocket at 11:50:01 UTC on July 30, 2020, [4] and landed in the Martian crater Jezero on February 18, 2021, with ...
A road trip has begun on Mars. NASA’s Perseverance rover, which has been roaming the red planet since 2021, has embarked on a long trek to the top of the crater in which it landed, the space ...
Crocco's Multiplanetary Trajectory, sometimes named Crocco's Mission and Crocco's "Grand Tour", is a mathematical description of an hypothetical Earth-Mars-Venus-Earth-Research Mission, which was first proposed in 1956 by the Aeronautics and Space Pioneer G. A. Crocco during the VII. International Astronautical Congress in Rome.

Perseverance, [2] is a car -sized Mars rover designed to explore the Jezero crater on Mars as part of NASA 's Mars 2020 mission. It was manufactured by the Jet Propulsion ...
A NASA mission to test how living on Mars would stress and test a human crew ended Saturday, with four volunteers emerging from more than a year in a 1,700-square-foot structure.
The Deep Space Transport (DST), also called Mars Transit Vehicle, [152] is a crewed interplanetary spacecraft concept by NASA to support science exploration missions to Mars of up to 1,000 days. [153][154][155] It would be composed of two elements - an Orion capsule and a propelled habitation module. [156]
